Sad to hear the news about Bleach. I've only seen up to ep 136 and while I was prepared to tolerate Hitsuguya and Matsumoto flashing around for a couple of eps to show how seriously strong the Arrancar are, It's been dragging on far too long. I mean just how long can Ichigo and Uryu train for? But to hear that in the following eps, the plot consists of Orehime folding her hands demurely makes me wanna scream. There's been all this foreshadowing that she was not made for fighting which I don't really agree with but to so totally castrate her seems ridiculous. And I see from Wikipedia that from eps 147, they've got more filler while they wait for the mangaka to catch up. So that means it'll be another year before we see eps based on the manga storyline, right?
The thing that's really buffing me is why hasn't there been any focus on Tatsuki? She kicks ass at a national level in her karate competitions and certainly according to the manga, she can see all the spiritual entities which means that she has some power. I can totally see her using a combo of karate and kido. You've got to be aware of how to channel and use your ki when you're competing at that level in martial arts. It seems like Kubo gives us all these female characters with promise and turns them into simpering misses. Le Sigh.
